The UNC/NCSU Joint Comparative Pathology (JCP) Program announces the availability of a residency position in veterinary comparative anatomic pathology. This program provides specialized training in laboratory animal pathology in conjunction with a strong foundation in pathology of domestic species to prepare the trainee for certification by the American College of Veterinary Pathology. The JCP is a partnership between the University of North Carolina School of Medicine (UNC-SOM), the UNC Division of Comparative Medicine, and the North Carolina State University, College of Veterinary Medicine (NCSU-CVM).
The trainee will participate in surgical and necropsy diagnostic services for laboratory and domestic species and provide research pathology support at UNC and NCSU. Trainees will actively engage with faculty, staff, and students at both institutions and participate in weekly gross and microscopic pathology rounds as well as specialty topic pathology rounds and journal clubs as appropriate. A resident is enrolled annually into the 3-year joint pathology program, and residents work particularly closely with NCSU-CVM veterinary pathology residents and the laboratory animal medicine residents in the UNC Division of Comparative Medicine.
Collaborative and/or independent research is expected and will be supported. Trainees will be expected to author a minimum of 2 publications, deliver presentations at scientific meetings and contribute to teaching of veterinary and graduate students.
